The Ravens signed Lawson to the practice squad Thursday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawson played in 15 regular-season games for the Cowboys in 2024 and logged 15 tackles (seven solo), including 5.0 sacks, and one forced fumble. With Broderick Washington (ankle) on IR and Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) out for the season, Lawson's addition to the Ravens' practice squad gives the team depth at defensive end. Given his recent addition, Lawson is unlikely to be elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.

Lawson finished the 2024 season with 15 tackles (seven solo), including 5.0 sacks, 15 QB hits and one forced fumble across 15 games.

EDGE Analysis

Lawson started just three games this past season for Dallas, operating as a sub-package edge rusher behind Micah Parsons and Chauncey Golston. It was a nice bounce-back season for the 29-year-old after he dealt with a torn Achilles tendon and a back issue in his time with the Jets from 2021-23. Lawson failed to record a single sack across six games for New York in 2023 and didn't sign with Dallas until August of 2024 after Sam Williams tore his ACL. Lawson is scheduled to head back to free agency in March.

Lawson recorded 2.0 sacks in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

With Micah Parsons (ankle) and DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) still unavailable, Lawson led the Cowboys' pass rush and was the only player to bring down Kirk Cousins on the afternoon. The veteran edge rusher has 2.5 sacks in four games since both Parsons and Lawrence went down, giving Lawson some deep-league IDP appeal in Week 10 against the Eagles if the duo remains sidelined.

The Cowboys signed Lawson on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Lawson worked out with the Cowboys in late July, and after a successful tryout, the team has agreed to terms with the veteran pass rusher. The 29-year-old most recently played with the Jets, recording five total tackles across six regular-season contests in 2023. Expect Lawson to compete for a depth role in the Cowboys' pass-rushing corps during upcoming practices and the final preseason game.

Lawson is scheduled to work out with the Cowboys on Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cowboys are working out several pass rushers after Sam Williams sustained a season-ending torn ACL injury in his left knee during Sunday's practice session. Lawson played for the Jets in 2023, though he appeared in just six regular-season games while dealing with a back injury, and he finished the season with just five tackles (two solo). Lawson's most productive campaign came in 2022 with the Jets, when he recorded 33 tackles (18 solo), including 7.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games.

Lawson (coach's decision) is out Sunday against the Broncos, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The backup defensive end dealt with a back issue in training camp and ended up missing Week 1. Lawson has played in three games since then and has made three tackles.

Lawson (back) will play against the Cowboys on Sunday, per coach Robert Saleh, Al Iannazzone of Newsday Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Saleh revealed that Lawson had dealt with a back injury leading up to Monday's win over the Bills, which prompted the coaching staff to keep the defensive end out. Lawson had 7.0 sacks in 2022 and should play a prominent role in New York's deep pass rushing rotation now that he's healthy.

Lawson (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's matchup against the Bills, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawson dealt with a back issue throughout training camp, but he wasn't listed on the Jets' initial Week 1 injury report, suggesting he'd be able to play in the season opener. However, it appears the team wants to give him one more week to build up to game speed. Jermaine Johnson will likely start in Lawson's absence, while Bryce Huff and Will McDonald could see extra snaps as depth options.

Lawson (back) wasn't listed on the Jets' injury report Thursday ahead of their Week 1 game versus Buffalo, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite struggling with the back issue throughout training camp and into September, Lawson won't miss the Jets' season opener. He's seeking the first double-digit sack season of his career in 2023, but having to chase around Josh Allen in Week 1 means Lawson won't have an easy start.

Lawson (back) returned to practice Tuesday, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Robert Saleh said he's optimistic Lawson will suit up Week 1 versus the Bills, but the defensive end doesn't yet appear to be practicing in full. He has just under two weeks remaining before New York's prime time regular-season opener on Monday Night Football.
